Knitting Spring:
Wristers for Those with Cold Hands
A New Story and Pattern from Michelle Edwards

Knitting Spring Wristers

This winter when the snow outside our house remained packed and piled as high as our mailbox, when many of my fellow Iowans were ordering seeds and planning their gardens, my craving for spring and color led me to dye a vast amount of wool. (See Knitting Spring)

My oldest daughter Meera (of Road Scarf), and her friend who helped with the Kool-Aid dyeing took some yarn home with them. I sent a package north to my friend Vicki in Minnesota, where winters are even longer. Still I remained a woman who could count her worth in wool.
